Improving Vessel Traffic Services At USCG
RII assisted the USCG in updating the Operational Requirements Document (ORD) for Vessel Traffic Services (VTS). The initial ORD was approved in Dec 1997 in response to a May 1997 VTS Mission Need Statement. The VTS Initial Operational Capability (IOC) was delivered to the Coast Guard at The Vessel Traffic Center (VTC) New Orleans in 2004.
Since the 1997 ORD was approved the USCG VTS mission has gone through truly paradigm shifting changes including the change of perspective in VTS port security operations due to the events of 9/11, subsequent transfer of the USCG from the Department of Transportation (DOT) to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and emphasis on developing an Integrated Operations Center (IOC) picture of port operations in all USCG Sector Command Centers (SCC).
RII conducted an Operational Requirements Assessment (ORA) consisting of a thorough review of Ports Waterways and Coastal Security programs including National AIS, Command 21, and Rescue 21 projects, implementation of a requirement elicitation process involving USCG VTC and SCC operations personnel, commercial VTS users (vessel operators, vessel pilots, and tug boat operators) of VTS information, and application of DHS Guide to Development of Operational Requirements, May 2008, requirement development guidance.
The use of requirement elicitation techniques, inclusion within the ORD of rationale for each requirement, conduct of an Operational Requirements Review (ORR) to obtain stakeholder buy-in, and development of a Requirement Traceability Matrix (RTM) which traces updated 1997 ORD requirements to the 2010 ORD and new 2010 ORD requirements to their source documents are key to developing a complete traceable set of requirements from the operational requirements down to the lowest level technical requirements.
The resulting 2010 VTS ORD is based on the application of sound systems engineering principles, clearly states the revised concept of operations and the requirements necessary to acquire the upgraded USCG VTS capability and is fully compliant with DHS ORD development guidance.
